Presentation of Noether's Theorem

Date: July 26, 1918 • Location: Göttingen, Germany

Emmy Noether's paper, which became known as Noether's theorem was presented at Göttingen, Germany, from which conservation laws are deduced for symmetries of angular momentum, linear momentum, and energy.

Amalie Emmy Noether was a German mathematician who made many important contributions to abstract algebra and mathematical physics. As one of the leading mathematicians of her time, she developed theories of rings, fields, and algebras. She also proved Noether's first and second theorems, which play a fundamental role in mathematical physics, by explaining the connection between symmetry and conservation laws.
